Welcome back, Helsingers. The show just took us on an epic trip back in time thanks to Elder Susan working her voodoo on Vanessa. Was it a dream or did Vanessa really take over her ancestor's body for a time? Either way, Vanessa learns quite a lot about Elder vampires and the Baugh. She also spends time training with Master Tsui.

Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x03, "I Alive". What did you think of Vanessa's mind-trip back in time? How awesome was Shavonne and do you think she'll show up again in the present day? In this show, anything could happen. Which do you think is more of a danger to Vanessa, the Oracle or Baugh? It certainly can't be Elder Susan. RIP. Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on Ep 3x03, "I Alive".

This week, we're digging into a lesser-known serial killer named Israel Keyes. You may have never heard of him, but he was an evil monster, through and through. Growing up in eastern Washington, Israel grew up living next to murderer Chevie Kehoe and attending churches known for anti-semitic views.

As an adult, he moved to Alaska and started living a true double life. He spent years meticulously planning trips to kill people and commit bank robberies all across the country. No one who knew him would have expected it, but he took great care to cover his tracks. He even went as far as to bury murder kits with weapons, trash bags, Draino, and more in different states in preparation for future kills.

Welcome back, Helsingers. If there were any doubts, badassery is clearly in the Van Helsing genes. This week's episode takes us back to the past. Like wayyyyy back. We briefly see Vanessa and Scarlett's ancestor, Lillian. The latter is in an asylum and faces up with a vampire with some interesting skills. Scarlett's worried about her sister after glimpsing her red, glowing eyes and after Vanessa confesses her new craving for blood.

Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x02, "Super Unknown". Brad has a theory about Renfield and the connections to Dracula and the Van Helsings. Is the show trying to do some kind of weird and unnecessary love triangle with the sisters and Axel? What is up with Vanessa's fixation on that blade and can Elder Susan be trusted?

Welcome back, Helsingers. Our long hiatus has officially ended. The season premiere, "Fresh Tendrils" makes quick work of catching us up on all vamp apocalyptic happenings for our fave survivors (and bloodsuckers). Vanessa wakes up from her nap looking for a fight with the Elder. Doc, Axel, and the others find themselves under attack by that mad doctor from last season. Of course, he grows curious when he finds out about Julius' ability to heal quickly and ya know, Flesh crawling from his grave.

Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x01, "Fresh Tendrils". What is the deal with Vanessa's red eyes? How cool is it that the Elder has Susan's face?  Were you bummed to see the group splitting up? It can't be long before they all end up together again, right?

Brian Shaffer was a 27-year-old Ohio State University student when he disappeared into thin air after a night of partying in 2006. His body and no evidence were ever found, and video footage from Columbus' Ugly Tuna Saloona seems to prove that Brian never actually left the bar he entered that night. Was Brian murdered, or could he have snuck out and left the country to start a new life? The theories surrounding this case are abundant.
